Thanks for the very nice article about the life of Al Bartlett. I am one of thousands of his students over the years and I think it is safe to say most of us would rate him as one of their best teachers of all-time. Dr. Bartlett taught engineering physics, and it was a tough class, but he made it fun, understandable and relevant. He never had to rely on theatrics to teach his students. Instead he used the facts and his considerable intellect. He could use science to work on real-world problems and remains a model of excellence in teaching.

While there many professors we remember as being so impressionable on our lives, the ones that seem to stand out are the ones in the field of science. . .teaching us about the natural laws of nature. Mine was my physics professor in my graduate work in Remove Sensing at U. of Michigan.
